Is the word “maverick” included in Palin’s wordcloud? If not, it should be. She used that word to describe McCain so many times that whoever had that word during a VP debate drinking game is dead.
Frankly, I am sick and tired of people using the word “maverick” to describe McCain when he has voted with Bush 90% of the time. Not only that, but he is now cozying up to the Religious Right leaders that he once decried as “agents of intolerance” back in 2000. His pick of Sarah Palin as VP completed his capitulation to this bloc he once rightfully denounced. The John McCain of 2000 may have earned the title of “maverick”, but the John McCain of 2008 has forsaken that title for that of “puppet of the Religious Right”.
